Early Engagement
The 30-story Third+Shoal project in Austin, TX marks the first time in company history that DPR self-performed all formwork and concrete work on a vertical high-rise structure. DPR worked with the structural engineer early on to redesign the structure around a modified formwork system which allowed the concrete work to be installed faster, shaving $2 million from the budget and approximately two months from the schedule.
The structural details, however, were complicated, with everything on the 25,000-sq.-ft. floor plate having to be built at a varying degree of slope or even cross slope. This provided DPR’s crews an opportunity to showcase the quality that they can achieve with complex structures.
Approximately 55 DPR craftspeople self-performed the concrete formwork and installation of 35,000 cubic yards of concrete on the project, in addition to waterproofing and specialty construction product work.
To help successfully deliver the self-perform formwork on the Third+Shoal project, DPR tapped the expertise and knowledge base of vConstruct, which specializes in providing virtual design and construction services, on the latest BIM platforms.
